LIGHT, LIGHT, LIGHT!!! Hold the quill as if writing and make small circles with it on the back of your other hand (Try this without ink. :) ) When you can make slight indentations on your hand without leaving a slight scratch mark, you are using the proper pressure to write. The pressure most of us use to write with today is way, way, too hard to use with a quill.

The Ink

Use a good calligraphy ink. DO NOT USE INDIA INK WHEN USING A QUILL! India ink has too strong an adhesive quality, and will not flow freely from a quill...Actually, I recommend that you do not use powdered ink when starting out. Go to an art store and ask for calligraphy ink."

Our hardtack crates are constructed as authentically as possible and still remain affordable. Unlike ammunition boxes, hardtack crate dimensions were not as critical. So long as the box held 50 pounds of hardtack and was about the right size, it was acceptable. Our hardtack crate features two very distinct details: nail holes for the "just opened" look and green sapling strapping. The hardtack box measures 26"L x 17"W x 11"H.

The hardtack crate had some specific construction requirements. Per the specifications from Lt. Col. C.L. Kilburn, the Assistant Commissary General of Subsistence, in his "Notes on Preparing Stores for the United States Army and on the Care of the Same, etc, with a few rules for Detecting Adulterations" printed in 1863, under Hard Bread it states: The packages should be thoroughly seasoned, (of wood imparting no taste or odor to the bread,) and reasonably tight. The usual method now adopted is to pack 50 pounds net, in basswood boxes, (sides, top and bottom ½ inch, ends 5/8 of an inch,) and of dimensions corresponding with the cutters used, and strapped at each end with light iron or wood. The bread should be packed on its edge compactly, so as not to shake.

Addition specification details were provided in Customs of Service for Non-Commissioned Officers and Soldiers by August Kautz 1864. " When hard bread is put in boxes (the best packages for field transportation), they should be made of fully-seasoned wood, of a kind to impart no taste or odor to the bread, and as far as practicable of single pieces. When two pieces are used in making the same surface, they should be tongued and grooved together. A box 26 x 17 x 11 inches, exterior measure, is an average box for pilot bread, under the usual circumstances of land transportation. The ends of a box of this size should be made of inch, and the remainder of five-eighths, stuff, the package well strapped with green hickory or other suitable wood."

NOTE: Additional shipping charges will be applied due to size and weight of box. Shipping is approximately $55.00 per crate.

In 1827, John Walker, English chemist and apothecary, discovered that if he coated the end of a stick with certain chemicals and let them dry, he could start a fire by striking the stick anywhere. These were the first friction matches. The chemicals he used were antimony sulfide, potassium chlorate, gum, and starch. Walker did not patent his "Congreves" as he called the matches (alluding to the Congreve's rocket invented in 1808). Walker was a former chemist at 59 High Street, in Stockton-on-Tees, England. His first sale of the matches was on April 7, 1827, to a Mr. Hixon, a solicitor in the town. Walker made little money from his invention. He died in 1859 at the age of 78 and is buried in the Norton Parish Churchyard in Stockton.

In 1829 Samuel Jones saw Walker's "Congreves" and decided to market them, calling his matches "Lucifers". "Lucifers" became popular especially among smokers, but they had a bad burning odor.

In 1855, safety matches were patented by Johan Edvard Lundstrom of Sweden. Lundstrom put red phosphorus on the sandpaper outside the box and the other ingredients on the match head, solving the problem of "phossy jaw" and creating a match that could only be safely lit off the prepared, special striking, surface.

This little tin match box holder is just the right size to hold one of our boxes of Lucifers. The sliding cover protects everything from the elements. The box measures approximately 2 5/8" x 1 3/4" x 5/8".

Camp Floyd and the Utah War was used as a strategy by both the Northern and Southern states to divert the nation's attention from states rights and slavery issues. 3500 Union troops, about 1/3 of the entire U.S. Army was dispatched to Utah to suppress a rumored rebellion. President James Buchanan believed restoring order to Utah would unite the Democrats and Republicans and the Northerners and Southerners. John Floyd was the Secretary of War . He and other southern Democrats intended to divert Union troops to the West, deplete the U.S. Treasury by millions of dollars by giving out government contract for the move to southern businessmen, and encourage western support for southern stats rights. Camp Floyd was built in 1858 Fairfield, Utah. The army was recalled in 1861 for the Civil War. There was never a rebellion nor war in Utah.

Few foot soldiers would have carried around the extra weight of steel tent pegs. Steel was more important for other uses than tent pegs so it is likely that even officers may have used wooden tent pegs.

This round tent peg is the typical issued tent peg that was mass produced.

The head of the peg is about 3/4" and the length about 9.5".

The tent peg is made from oak, not pine, for durability and longevity.
